Course in a Nutshell

We will also arm you with procedures and technologies for identifying, assessing, and managing the risk associated with making capital investment decisions.

Customize It!

Whatever the nature of your system and industry, we will customize the course to meet your specific needs and concerns. Here are some of the ways in which we can tailor the course to help you get more out of it:

Add a “workshop day” to the course to allow the participants to work together to analyze an investment decision specific to your organization. The workshop day can be scheduled a few weeks after the course to allow time for applying the technologies presented in class under an experienced practitioner’s guidance.
